EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Feast at the Palais-Royal (1830): 'Here you go, Monsignor, a very Neapolitan party: we are dancing on a volcano!'" captures a moment of historical significance and anticipation. Created in 1896 by Job, pseudonym for Onfray de Breville, Jacques, this illustration depicts an event that took place on May 31,1830. During a lavish party held at the Royal Palace to honor the King of the Two Sicilies, diplomat and writer Narcisse-Achille de Salvandy uttered the famous words to the Duke of Orleans: "Here you go, Monsignor, a Neapolitan celebration: we are dancing on a volcano!". Little did they know that these words would later be seen as prophetic. This image serves as an allegory for the impending July Revolution. The vibrant colors and lively dancers convey both joyous celebration and underlying tension. It symbolizes how society was blissfully unaware of the imminent eruption that would shake France and Europe. Job's illustration from "Les du pays de France" offers us insight into French history during the early nineteenth century. It showcases not only diplomatic relations but also societal norms and customs prevalent during that time. This artwork is part of a private collection but has been made accessible through Fine Art Finder's collaboration with Bridgeman Images. Its depiction of festivities amidst political uncertainty reminds us that even in times of apparent stability, change can lurk beneath the surface like an active volcano ready to erupt.
